This week, after 2 months waiting Oracle to answer me in MOS I finally got the solution for my problem.

The weblogic.appc tool pre-compiles each JSP file before deploying your project to Integrated WLS, otherwise your application could take a big performance hit as it needs to compile each .JSP file after the first request. This so called "feature" could get you in some trouble if you have more 400+ .jsp files, the fact lies beyond the heap parameters in weblogic.appc compiler, the default values (-Xms128 and -Xmx512) aren't enough to a big project like that.

After some analysis Oracle Support offered me two solutions:

1) Start JDeveloper with the following argument from command-line:

-J-Djdev.webapp.appc.addition.jvmargs=-Xmx1025m

Example:

jdevW.exe -J-Djdev.webapp.appc.addition.jvmargs=-Xmx1025m

Important: this argument is for internal development, hence is not officially supported and is subject to change or removal.

Notice that argument -Xmx shows twice: the first is internally passed by JDev and the second is the one we are passing with above argument. This is because is not possible to override arguments we are passing internally through JDeveloper.

2) If the above didn't help, are left with the following options:

a) Disable compilation at DT when deploying to to Integrated Weblogic Server.

Today I was reading a interesting topic about one of ViewObject tuning properties, it is called Forward Only mode, you can programmatically set it by calling setForwardOnly(true). This property won't allow the ViewObject to cache the previous loaded rows while RowSet scroll is happening.

39.2.6 Use Forward Only Mode to Avoid Caching View Rows

As stated in documentation:

"Often you will write code that programmatically iterates through the results of a view object. A typical situation will be custom validation code that must process multiple rows of query results to determine whether an attribute or an entity is valid or not. In these cases, if you intend to read each row in the row set a single time and never require scrolling backward or re-iterating the row set a subsequent time, then you can use "forward only" mode to avoid caching the retrieved rows. To enable forward only mode, call setForwardOnly(true) on the view object.

Note:

Using a read-only view object (with no entity usages) in forward-only mode with an appropriately tuned fetch size is the most efficient way to programmatically read data.

You can also use forward-only mode to avoid caching rows when inserting, updating, or deleting data as long as you never scroll backward through the row set and never call reset() to set the iterator back to the first row. Forward only mode only works with a range size of one (1)."

Two methods that does exactly the same thing but with slightly different approach. After that suppose that you want to populate the JobId attribute in Employees View Object with the previous created method return:

Just a note for myself, today I faced a weird exception while trying to start a Managed Server from our Weblogic Cluster.

The server crashed due to an exception:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: allocLargeObjectOrArray: [Ljava/lang/Object;, size 16400
I don't know exactly what hapenned, especially because the time that exception ocurred we had almost no users online.

After trying to start the Managed Server I was facing this error:weblogic.management.DeploymentException: Exception occured while downloading files
And then:Caused By: java.io.IOException: [DeploymentService:290066]Error occurred while downloading files from admin server for deployment request "0". Underlying error is: "null"
After some Googling I found a blog post that helped me a lot:http://www.javamonamour.org/2012/10/javaioioexception-deploymentservice2900.html

One special note to "and the Admin is unable to redeploy the file".After reading that I started to look into Stage directories inside managed server's to see if something is missing. I found out that the last version of the application wasn't there and after I managed to deploy it manually to the managed server, it started normally.

Now it is just some time to let the Load Balancer do its work and free some of other managed servers load =).

Hope it helps someone! Especially because I didnt't found anything that specific about the issue.

This error usually happens when you forgot to declare the Tag Libraries in your Web project inside JDeveloper, just import the library (trough JSP Tag Libraries inside your IDE, I'm using JDeveloper here but I think that all of then uses the same concept) that references the attribute TAG and everything should compile.

In day-to-day use JDeveloper always make some weird things by itself... Here I'am showing how to solve the most common one, the Data Control Palette got hidden somewhere in the darkness...

Screen showing the Palette:

Altough I was not able to reproduce the problem I know how to solve it, you just have to go to Window Menu and click "Reset Windows to Factory Settings", that'll fix some lost tag in one of JDeveloper configuration XML's.
